    Yet another M38A1 in my sights

    I hope to get mine out on the road again this weekend - I need to install some shorter belts, as my generator is vibrating on the motor mount. I also ned to change my temp sender - mine stops at about 90 deg - might be the gauge though. Then I can ride without too many worries!

    Hardly no rust - GREAT! Dents and a fresh coat of paint are pretty cheap. Radiator - see if it is repairable. They come up on ePay sometimes. Last time I asked, you couldn't get a replacement core for them (don't know why - I didn't ask). That was 12 yrs ago though - maybe you can now. See -...

    FUNNY! I thought it said pastries - I could go for a doughnut with my coffee right now! Yeah, pasties are great - wish they had a place around here in the south. Looks like a great 'a1 - you won't regret spending a little extra for one that needs just a little work (instead of major missing...

    That's great - CONGRATULATIONS! That's for your accomplishment and your new toy. And, no offense to this forum, may I suggest that you join the http://www.willysmjeeps.com forum. It is dedicated to the M38 and M38a1 jeeps only - a lot of knowledge there.

    Soft top? Take it off for sure! If towing with a tow dolly, take the rear driveshaft off and stay at around 60-65mph. Just take the top off for a trailer haul at 75mph.

    Yeah, keep it 12v. I, personally, like the fact that you can go to the parts stores and buy just about any part you need for a '70 CJ5. When you are 24v, you'd better have spares in the toolbox under the seat! I can't even find 24v bulbs around here. Like jime said, you won't automatically get a...
